Tigers Roar Back: LSU’s Thrilling Comeback Win Over South Carolina Sets the Stage for Big Matchups Ahead
Tigers’ Gritty Comeback Triumphs Over South Carolina in a Thrilling Showdown
It wasn’t always a smooth ride, but the LSU Tigers once again showcased their resilience, finding a way to secure a hard-fought victory against South Carolina on Saturday. What started as a nightmare quickly turned into a tale of redemption for LSU, as they overcame a 17-0 deficit with just over 12 minutes remaining in the second quarter.
The Tigers mounted an impressive comeback, clawing their way back into the game and closing the gap to 24-16 by halftime. The tension reached its peak in the final moments when Josh Williams powered into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown, sealing a 36-33 victory with only 1 minute and 12 seconds left on the clock.
Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier once again delivered a solid performance, completing 24 of 40 passes for 285 yards, adding 2 touchdowns to his tally, though he did have one interception. True freshman Caden Durham made his presence felt with a breakout performance, rushing 11 times for 98 yards and scoring 2 crucial touchdowns.
Aaron Anderson emerged as LSU’s top receiver for the day, hauling in 5 catches for 96 yards, while Mason Taylor and Kyren Lacy both contributed touchdowns during the Tigers’ offensive surge.
Defensively, Bradyn Swinson stole the show. The relentless edge rusher was nothing short of dominant, recording three sacks and forcing a fumble, wreaking havoc on South Carolina’s offensive line all game long.
As South Carolina prepares to regroup with an upcoming matchup against Akron, LSU looks ahead to two manageable games against UCLA and South Alabama, giving them a chance to fine-tune their game before a high-stakes showdown with Ole Miss on October 12th—a game that promises to be pivotal in their season.
